A side-by-side look at the Email Spam Tester and Fmeca MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Email Spam Tester for communication work over a hosted endpoint; choose Fmeca for communication as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
get_test_address, wait_for_report, get_report.session.open, append, state.get.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.

get_test_addressReserve a single-use address to send a draft email to, for a full check.
Returns the address and the URL its report will appear at. The address
accepts exactly one message and expires after an hour. The email has to be
sent by the person, from the platform or mailbox they really send from:
half the checks read what that platform adds. The report covers 42 checks
(SPF, DKIM, DMARC, reverse DNS, TLS, blocklists, content, links, the
Gmail and Yahoo bulk-sender rules) and a plan of what to fix.
lang is decided now because the message arrives minutes later over SMTP,
which carries no hint of who is waiting for it. What wait_for_report
returns quotes check lines in English whatever it is set to; the person
following report_url sees their own language.
wait_for_reportWait until the message arrives and has been analysed, then summarise it.
Call it after the email has been sent to the address from
get_test_address. Blocks rather than returning "not ready yet": an agent
told to poll writes a sleep loop and usually gives up before the analysis
finishes. Provider placement keeps filling in for up to 30 minutes after
the report; get_report reads the latest.
get_reportRead a report by its slug without waiting, with provider placement so far.
The report stays at its link for good and anyone with the link can read
it: the checks, the score, the fix plan, and the subject and sender of
the email.
get_message_sourceThe message exactly as it was received: headers, both bodies, source.
Useful when a finding points at a header and the agent needs to see what it
actually sent rather than what it believes it sent. The message is kept
for an hour after it arrives and then deleted; within that hour anyone
with the slug can read it. After that only the report remains.
session.openStart or resume a session; optionally selects the matrix strategy and records analysis metadata (`title`, `level`, `aspect`, `scope_paths`, `parent`), all fixed for the session's life.appendAdd a failure mode (`add_failure_mode`), add a mitigation (`add_mitigation`), or re-score an existing failure mode (`rescore`). `set_mitigation_status` moves a mitigation through planned, implemented, verified or abandoned (verified needs evidence other than a note). `set_failure_mode_disposition`…state.getRead-only projection of the session: every failure mode with its computed criticality, residual, and standing.risk.nextThe highest-criticality unmitigated failure mode — what to address next.readiness.assessThe readiness gate: is every High/Medium residual reduced and every blocker cleared?report.exportThe full FMECA table for the session.scoring.catalogThe fixed observation vocabulary for a strategy — the ids the caller draws from.analyzeStateless one-shot: hand over an entire analysis, get back the entire computed report. No session, no persistence.session.listEvery analysis in the state dir (the project's `.fmeca/` when there is one), with its metadata, standing counts (excluded failure modes are counted separately), `ready`, `ready_verified` and resolution counts. Filters: `level`, `aspect`, `parent`. A log that fails to replay is listed with its error.vetAdvisory: asks Jev (via OpenRouter, needs `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`) whether observations, mitigations, coverage and readiness hold up, and returns probabilities beside the deterministic gate. Never writes or changes a score; without a key it reports `vet_unavailable`.actions.suggestRead-only. Reads a session (or an inline analysis) under a [risk policy](docs/policies.md) and suggests actions: per-failure-mode risk bands, evidence confidence, dispositions, tagged actions and a sign-off verdict. Never changes the analysis or the log.policy.listRead-only. The built-in policy presets and the project's `.fmeca/policies/` files, each with its name, hash and class. A project file that does not load is listed with its `error`.Paste either block (or both) into your client config, e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json. We only show a config when the install command is confirmed.
